| Abstract/Contents: | "Access to an adequate quantity of suitable quality irrigation water is essential to the future of the golf course industry. Questions exist concerning whether non-traditional water conditioning devices can negate the effect of poor quality irrigation water or the effect of reduced amounts or irrigation water applied. This research assessed the short-term (one month or less) effects of using catalytically treated poor quality irrigation water, as well as the effects of deficit irrigation on visual quality, growth and water-use efficiency of Tifway [Tifton 419] (Cynodon dactylon x C. transvaalensis) bermudagrass growing under simulated golf course fairways conditions at Stillwater, OK. Water treated with the Care Free unit had no effect on Tifway visual quality, clipping yield, or water use efficiency, regardless of the amount or quality of irrigation water utilized. Conditioned water had no impact on total soluble salts, sodium adsorption ratio, sodium ion, exchangeable sodium percentage, pH or electrical conductivity of the soil. The studies were of inadequate duration for the high salinity water treatments to affect bermudagrass visual quality, clipping yield or water use efficiency. Tifway quality and clipping yield declined when irrigated with amounts that were less than 75% of evapotranspiration on a cumulative 3-day basis." |
